Embracing the Friction: The Hidden Sweetness in Marriage

In today’s ‘cancel culture,’ people who encounter friction often choose to keep their spikes and abandon the other fruit instead. The trouble is that this leaves them to face the tumbler of life alone. Marriage is not about finding the perfect match; it is about two imperfect individuals being thrown into the tumbler of life together. The refining process takes time, but as each spike is knocked off, it becomes more enjoyable and certainly much sweeter being in the tumbler together. Rather than getting upset at the friction in a marriage, try to be thankful. Each time you let go of one of your spikes and allow yourself to be more vulnerable, the more likely it is that your partner will begin to do the same. Over time, all that will remain is the goodness to be shared and enjoyed for much longer than it took for the spikes to be knocked off.

Guided by Faith: Embracing Wisdom, Courage, and Strength on Our Spiritual Journey

“When examining these aspects within a biblical and godly framework, the most insightful approach isn’t merely understanding what they inherently mean, but also recognizing the greatest challenges that could hinder their proper application. Wisdom transcends mere knowledge or intelligence, which pertains to the capacity to gather information. Wisdom, especially of a godly nature, is about applying the right responses to various situations. Courage, as understood within the context of the prayer, involves not just eradicating our fear of worldly elements but cultivating a reverential fear of God Himself. True godly strength is not about our ability to dominate challenges but rather about our willingness to fully yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. This divine strength often calls us not to conquer but to persevere, committing to a posture of surrender to the Holy Spirit, allowing His power to be the sole source of our endurance against any force that seeks to thwart God’s will.”
